First Alert Forecast: Spotty showers with light winds expected to persist through the weekend

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A moisture plume will progress northwestward up the island chain through Friday, bringing a slight uptick in shower activity as it passes through. Otherwise, a lighter background flow will allow for a sea/land breeze pattern to persist into the weekend with showers developing over leeward and interior areas each afternoon, followed by clearing at night. Then trade winds will gradually strengthen late this weekend through next week, shifting the shower focus to windward and mauka areas.
